Step 2: Fail (And Fail Fast)

Commercial Fiction Club is a paid newsletter documenting the process of building a $1,000,000/year self-published fiction empire—starting from $0. If you want to make money from your fiction, and learn what’s working in real-time, this is for you. New posts every Friday at 7:00am PT.

Dear Fiction Writer,

I had a different post planned for today—but alas, this is how the journey goes.

And since the promise of this newsletter is to SHOW you (not just “tell” you) how I’m building a 7-figure fiction writing business (so you can, too), I suppose this is exactly the type of post I need to write most.

Long story short, today was going to be the day I published & announced my first LitRPG novel. I’ve been working on it for over a year. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars hiring all-star designers, audio engineers for the audiobook, etc. And I was so excited to finally hit publish and feel like this fiction journey I’ve been on wasn’t just “an idea”—but there was tangible proof out in the world!

But, I made a crucial error.
